Exclusive: Este Haim admitted she had to be held down by her sisters after she almost launched herself at Prince during the Brit awards.

The 27-year-old bassist couldn’t believe her luck when the Purple Rain singer stood next to their table before he presented the award for British female solo artist at Wednesday’s ceremony at London’s O2 Arena.

‘Prince walked past me and my sisters had to hold me back,’ she told Metro at the Universal Music Brits party – hosted by Bacardi – at the Soho House pop-up under Waterloo Bridge.

It was a night of firsts for the Don’t Save Me hitmakers who admitted the bash was the first awards show they have ever been to.
